[Humour] NSC's favourite satirist?

[DavidinSouthampton]

Armando Iannucci.
The Thick of It, Alan Partridge, Brass Eye, Have I Got News for You. The Day Today, Veep.

This.

I know it's not satire, but his film "The Death of Stalin" is brilliant.

I'm banking on the fact that because the answer is Chris Morris, there's a slim chance this thread might not be fixtures.

We are certainly living in a golden age for satirical comedians, begging the question who's after Mr Morris?

I thought you were referring to Cold War Steve, but that's Chris Spencer. For those not familiar with his work;

I’m apparently stupid, especially considering DofS is one of my favorite movies ever. I always thought it was satire.

Peter Sellers also dealt a nice line in satire.

And Richard Ingrams was one of the modern day 'grandfathers' of satire.

Derek & Clive

You're probably right. I just (wrongly) think of satire as being based on current events.
